Notes and Items.
IT is often somewhat shocking TO people of
middle age or past that period, to observe
the nonchalance with which far too many of
the young ladies of the present day speak of
their engagements of marriage; that is, with
no shrinking or hesitation, or reserve, and,
as it would appear to the observer, with no
delicacy. And not only is it the want of
delicacy that strikes one but a want of re-
spect toward the engagement, treatment of
it as if it were the lightest of affairs, without
especial significance unless one pleased, an
arrangement for lunch, II rendezvous at "A re-
ception, not nearly so serious, indeed, as a
dinner engagement, which is something that

The manner too, in which these engage
mentS are formed is "a source of surprise and
shock. again, to the reputable middle aged
woman, who is convinced that things were
not done 50 in her young days-the total
levity and want of sentiment, the young
mans purse and general ability to provide
n fine mcnaGe and equipage having more to
do with the solidarity of the enterprise than
virtue or personal charm; genial manners,
good dancing and pleasant temper beng
enough for the temporary arrangement, and
the temporary arrangement being tolerably
well understood TO be only for the season,
terminable, like various other copartnerships,

But equally is it a matter of pain and
trouble to the aStoniShed observer to notice
th nanner in which the engagements are
bi zen, letters returned, all but telltale
few: some gifts returned and some retained /:
little romance, a little sentiment, as if just
for the plays sake, few tears, under which
the laugh comes sparkling presently, and the
way is clear for the next aspirant. And then
the affair is spoken of as coolly and openly as
any event of yesterdays dinner or of last
nights ball-such and such thing happened
when this young person was engaged to So

The keenness of the sailors organs OF sight

The following verses have been popular for
half a century. There is something in them
that seems to warrant the prophecy that they
will come to the surface from time to time
for half n century more:

Was ON the banks Of Guudalquivcr,
To gold converting; one 10y one
The ripplcs of that mighty river;
Beside me on the bank was seated
y Seville maid with auburn hair.
And eyes that might the world have cheated
bright, wild. wicked, diamond pair.
She stopped and wrote upon tine sand,
just as the lovely sun was going,
With such n small, white, SHINING hand
You would have sworn { was silver flowing;
Her words were three, and not one more.
What should Dilna's motto be;
The siren wrote upon the shore,
